Ancestors and Religion
The history of my family is interesting to me
When looking at reasons of why some things I see
It seems the German side of the family were Protestant
And so couldn’t get on in the Catholic Germany rant
So they immigrated to South Australia
Then I look at the Irish side
Who were Catholic and so were on the slide
With the Protestant English in the power
For in Ireland they were on the outer
So they immigrated to South Australia
It would seem instead of praising god
And making the best of your lot
Your religion becomes a tool
To get what you want and make others a fool.
